How are elementary teachers teaching social studies lesson to pupils? The teachers have biggest difficulties in teaching it at elementary school. What'd this problem better solve? The fundamental solution about these problems is possible by taking part in social studies class at first hand. Teacher is a person who teaches pupils in classroom. The effect of teaching directly appears based on teacher's experience and reflection obtained by the experience. Researches into teaching at school till now, however, are only used to a means that produce achievements in learning, and have not reflected teacher's natural opinions. That's why it always had teaching of social studies lesson recognized as scientific structure. In result, the teachers are shirking more and more from teaching of social studies lesson. This research is to approach theoretically for the practical knowledge seen by consecutive activity that teacher, performer who teach social lesson in classroom, practice instruction and reflect it. Scholars like Ryle, Oakeshott and Polanyi, who lay emphasis on knowledge by implication, insist strongly on knowledge that can't put in the textbook and that is obtained by reflection within activity, through methodological theories. Teacher's practical knowledge means that it express clearly knowledge accumulated by experience of each teacher, developing it depending on the faculty system based on his or her beliefs and values and reconstructing it continuously. Therefore, the practical knowledge is made with interconnectivity and is changed powerfully in the real situation. Researcher helped understand social studies lesson's instruction that come to a stagnant crisis as a course of study, and interpret it again, by recognizing the importance of knowledge like these and by arranging the existing research with which teacher's practical knowledge was dealt.
